But as this lady and the passengers of Oceanic 815 would tell you, it's probably not a good idea to try to take a dip with a polar bear.

Riddle us this: the Philadelphia Zoo and Eagles in the Wild = "The Others"?

What's not to love about the Miniature Tigers? The hipsterriffic foursome rocks throwback facial hair and bad Christmas sweaters almost as hard as they rock killer harmonies and painfully clever lyrics. (Seriously, we defy you not to love the intent or the rhyme scheme in lines like: "This is not a test or an SOS / I'm no longer on a quest to get girls undressed.") Plus, we support any band that embraces its inner nerd enough to feature a Dharma Initiative sticker on any instrument.

Animosity Pierre, whose video we featured earlier today, is one step closer to becoming universal (if not "everybody"), having been featured today on Time's Entertainment blog. Score one for the home team! Now seriously, how are they [spoiler alert: highlight blank space] ?

Lost has absolutely nothing to do with Philadelphia. But Animosity Pierre does, and so we're posting this video for your enjoyment. Leave your theories about the Oceanic Six in the comments section. We'd love to see them!

Dear Mamaist:

It's nasty out, but don't let the weather keep you from exploring all that this city's artisans and art curators have to offer!

Fun around town, for $10 or less:

Phillyist has been known to run with an older crowd, maybe because inexplicably we were/are the youngest by at least 10 years at most of our places of employ. A fun game to play if you have a good decade to work with is “what was different?” This sometimes devolves into discussions of Slinky (yes, we are old enough to remember when they were exclusively made of metal). When working with a more serious bunch, though (sexual health clinics can be trying), we realized that, perhaps more than anything else, the fact that we do not remember a world before AIDS informs our perspective and marks us as belonging to a particular generation, one that doesn’t really remember a world without crack, either. Growing up in the thick of the early days of the epidemic, back when most people were still worried about sharing a water fountain with a positive person, made us appreciate the enormity of the crisis. It did not, however, have the same devastating impact upon us that it had on many people who had to watch as staggering numbers of friends and colleagues succumbed to the mysterious syndrome. Harvey Fierstein commented once that AIDS nearly killed Broadway—and he wasn’t kidding.

Eggers is the literary darling that some people love to hate. We admit that his ubiquitous presence around the time that A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius was published made us nauseous, but after reading the book, we understood what all of the hoopla was about. Since then, his subsequent work, such as You Shall Know Our Velocity and What Is the What, as well as being the founder of McSweeney's, The Believer, and charitable organization 826 Valencia (and its offshoots) have established him less as a literary upstart and more as a true contributor to American writing.

A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets. Phillyist Sarah is always tempting this Phillyist with articles on food blogs about inventive things to do with bacon, but this may be our favorite yet - bacon chocolate chip cookies with maple cinnamon glaze. Imagine Homer Simpson with his held tilted back, his eyes glazed over, and drool dripping out of his mouth, and you will understand our reaction. The first Speed...

The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment. In honor of Veteran's Day, Cinematical offers us their Seven Favorite War Veteran Characters. Turns out the Movie Blog isn't going away after all! Wow, Winona Ryder is going to play Spock's mom in the new Star Trek movie. Game|Life has the list of nominees for the Spike TV Video Game Awards, which isn't surprising, as Game|Life's Chris Kohler was on...

A little while back, we told you about the First Person Story Tour and its colorful "mascot," the Story Tour Van. The Story Tour was a promotion to build up some buzz for the First Person Festival. Well, it's that time. The festival kicks off today with a wide range of events. The events are priced from free to $35 (the two most expensive events include food as part of the ticket price), and there's a bit of something for everyone. The Festival takes place entirely at 2111 Sansom Street, home of the Philadelphia Shakespeare Festival, so no matter which event you're going to, you'll know where to be, and you won't have to scramble from one location to another when you're going to multiple events.
